History
Archaeology
This island has large ruins from the historical Maldivian Buddhist era. The stupa, then ruinous, was excavated by H. C. P. Bell in 1923.
Nothing noteworthy was found at this site. The stupa had been much vandalized and was merely a low mound of rubble and sand. Almost all carved porites stones had been removed. Few traces of railings or steps remained.
A report was published in Bell's monograph.
Geography
The island is 239.17 km (149 mi; 129 nmi) south of the country's capital, Malé.[2]
